This is for all those who have soft bricked their phone, if you are experiencing a bootloop or some other problem here is a detailed guide how to get your phone back to working condition. If your phone is not entering download mode or recovery mode and even if a USB jig is not possible or not working.... This is the guide for you-I do not know whether this will work in all situations but you could still try it if you have no other alternative. The Galaxy SL has a hard reset button between the camera lens and the speaker... DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
1)Open the back over
2)Check between the Camera Lens and the speaker
3) There is a hard reset button which is a small cavity
4) You will need two people for this.. Keep that cavity pressed with a pin
5) Keeping it pressed use the download mode combo- Volume down + Home + Power pressed.
6)Wait and try it a couple of times and your phone will enter download mode
7)Flash to a stock firmware
Also thanks to sakindia123 for giving me a suggestion of making a thread on this ...

Cranium Rom V.3.1
All trials failed
Hello,
after i've updated my Galaxy S GT-I9003 with an official Rom JPKPE Gingerbread 2.3.6, and after rebooting, it stucked at bootloop, i've tried everything suggested on web and forums, and lastly your solution, with no benefit.
the problem i noticed that when i press on wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode it tells me :
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /dbdata...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe complete.
so, is the corruption of the format volume rfs that causes the issue of bootloop
and is this a soft brick of the phone, or hard brick, could it be solved or the phone is dead?
i tried rooting it with CF-Root and bagaria.
if i converted the format to ext4, will that solve the issue.
if so, what are the steps to do that and from where can i get the software that i'll convert by
Note: i've started updating with the XXKPQ ROM putting the PIT file then i downloaded the JPKPE after i issued that problem of bootloop
another Question, is it right that i update with the PID file only knowing that i couldn't find any other files for phone and CSC for this version.
Hope any body could help me to get my phone to life again.
Thanks

Yea exactly what devilhell said. Its impossible to hardbrick your phone technically if you haven't flashed any bootloader on it.

As long as your boot partition and recovery partition is not corrupted your phone is recoverable. If boot partition is corrupt your phone will not boot. So as long as your phone boots it is recoverable.

Thanks...! Really helped me!
Hi there,
i have an I9003 and it is using froyo 2.2
i intended to upgrade until gingerbread and i have chosen the KPU (latest ROM). I use mobile ODIN to flash and the bootloop issue happens.
So, to recover back, i came to here with hope to recover my I9003.
the steps i did was:
1. Download and run odin 1.8.5.
2. Check Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.
3. Click PIT button and select this file: latona_20110114.pit
4. Click PDA button and select this file: I9003xxxxx-KP7...-.tar.md5 (single file FW)
5. Put your phone into download mode: Press Volume down + OK + Power.
6. Connect USB cable and the program will detect the phone's Com number.
7. Click Start button to download the PIT file to phone.
8. After it is Done Click on Reset button, then unselect Re-Partition box.
9. Click Start button to flash the files to phone.
10. Everything pass except there is 1 failure.
Now my I9003 can boot up, however with bootloop issue. What should i do now?

i9003 dead
I had my phone i9003 flashed to a i9000 stock rom by a total mistake.
I had both pit files on my PC so I mixed up by a mistake.
Now my device is completely dead and nothing works out. Not even charging, completely unusable now.
Hardware reset, JIG's and combination keys, ODIN setups..nothing takes me to download mode.
Phone is still under warranty so afraid to JTAG.
Do you all think my phone is recoverable? Will the samsung warranty tech's will find out about the issue and won't the claim?
Please help. tried everything and now clueless.

HI,
i've been wanting to root and install custom roms on the i9003. i finally got the courage to try to root and do all these things recently, so i rooted the phone using superoneclick.. but i didnt know what to do next, because i wanted to try out custom roms because of what i have been reading on the forums.
so i followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19442301&postcount=1 and flashed the bagaria.tar found here using ODIN.
but it started looping and kept rebooting over and over again. and got stuck in bootloop. eventually it came up and would respond a bit before going back to the booting sequence, and i noticed that opening CWM automatically sent the phone to booting.
thinking that i did something wrong and afraid that i bricked the device i went to this thread and looked for the dxkp9 stock and used odin with it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1004647)
it just is stuck on boot loop now.
i've tried removing the battery and trying holding the VOLup home and power to no avail.
its just stuck in boot loop.
It is currently stuck in boot loop and wont do anything. i am really hoping it can still be fixed.. a bit of a sentimental value since this was a phone given to me by my dad, and first smartphone as well..
i would be very grateful for any kind of help.

After flashing step 1, did your phone restart/reboot normally?..what was asking for password? "everything goes well" for step1?
after flashing the files (pda modem etc.) the phone rebooted. but now is asking for a password go further. and when i tried to enter recovery and set it to factory settings it also asks for password before wiping the divice. tried a few times but with no success.

the password is maybe : samfirmware.com ............. maybe i saw it on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12310841#post12310841 below every rom

Greetings;
I didnt read all the stuff before...
So my answer may not be the best or accurate. (I'm almost out of time - sorry for that).
Either ways this happens to me when you don't perform a clean Flash (Formating Partitions before Flashing, wiping dalvik and cache) and after Flashing; performing a Factory Reset).
After the last step (Factory Reset) it should boot properly.
If not: Remove Battery, place it back and test if it boots.
From my experience: Downgrading ROM also do this issue. But i fix it by Flashing FULL DDLF2 (always with "clean flash") and then after my ROM Boots; Flashing the ROM i want to use.
Hope this helps.
When i flashed the first step my gt i9003 sl went completely blank except a bright light. Any solution or suggestiom

Download this program for your computer, follow the instructions, Flash your phone back to stock (using bricked mode), You will need to re-install a custom recovery, and then flash in the rom ect...
Make sure you do a clean flash, for ANYTHING you install on your phone..

1. make some coffee
2. get a comfy chair
3. read, read, read...
4. now that you have read about your issue and how to use the toolkit.. (while you are shaking your head no, and are just continuing to read only this...)
5. I am assuming that you are unlocked and have the correct drivers installed, because you already read and followed the instructions.. ;P
6. Boot into your bootloader.. (volume + and power)
7. Open the program (nexus root toolkit)
8. Plug your phone into your computer using the usb cable
9. Using the program, click the "flash to stock" (bricked) option.. If your device isn't recognized, or connected.. You missed a step while you were reading and learning about how to use the toolkit.. or if you don't have a recovery image, you need to find one, or possibly the tookit can download it for you..
10. Keep clicking "ok"
11. A black box will open on your computer.. telling you that it's fixing your phone.. your phone will reboot and you'll celebrate!!..
Now you have a restored to stock phone, without a custom recovery, it isn't rooted, but it is unlocked..
12. You want a custom phone?
13. Use the toolkit that you have now mastered.. because you read on how to do this..
14. Download the .zip files you want to install on your phone (making sure that it is for your phone, as wrong files will break your phone) transfer them to your phone...
15. You open and use the toolkit, ADVANCED/ BOOT RECOVERY... WIPE (DALVIK, CACHE, DATA)/ INSTALL ZIP(s) wiping dalvik and cache for additional installs.. ROM, then KERNEL, then ect..
16. You become addicted to flashing, thinking you can make it better, faster, better battery..
17. You break it again and re-read this, and the other forums you didn't read the first time.. and start over again.. lol..

Decided to try and revive my old hard-bricked nexus s paperweight the other day
Used Unbrickable Mod from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566475
Worked great, SBL injected, but I'm pretty sure the phone is in a bootloop because its getting detected intermittently by the computers I'm using. So when I try to flash with heimdall the device isn't detected and I can't follow through. Only hear the comp play a little sound of something being connected via USB. Also I think I should mention the power button doesn't work. Any ideas?
Do at your own risk i am not responsible actually this worked for my device

If u have installed cwm recovery on your mobile then do these steps:
turn off device
goto recovery mode (google your device)
clear cache and reset your phone from there and restart
this should solve bootloop problem if not then you can try flashing new rom by doing this
download rom for your device and follow the steps by the ddeveloper of that rom if therr is no guide on how to install that rom then u can try this
AT YOUR OWN RISK
for CWM 6 might work on other version :/
copy. zip file of your custom rom then goto recovery mode and then format system
reset phone
clear cache
install zip from sdcard and then choose your rom after that clear delvik cache and last reboot device click yes and wait rom to load can take 5 mints

Thanks for the speedy response!
I'm sorry I should have provided more info. The screen has no display so any manipulations from the device are impossible. Also the power button is non-responsive so I can't use it to access recovery mode. The only way I know it's bootlooping actually is it pops in and out of detection in unbrickable and the sounds of connection and disconnection that play when connected to the comp via USB. Also I don't have CWM. Last I checked (a while ago) it was on a stock ROM.
Ohh you have bricked your mobile :/ but dont worry
I am going to post a tutorial on how to unbrick a mtk phone with same issue ... , may that tutorial will help you
I will post link here as i post that tutorial but i dont gurantee that will work or not

Hello,
I had some issues in phone and had to wipe all the data in it (from recovery mode) with the thought of flashing the firmware after cleanup. The only way i know to flash this firmware is by SP flash tool and here's the issue!! the phone wont connect to the pc in switch off mode which is a need of the process. I've gone through a lot of forums on different websites including this (I asked for the issue on forum but didnt get any help), a lot of forums start from after the mt65xx preloader shows in the device manager.
The things i've tried are deleting the drivers of MTK device(The only thing available related to this phone) from my pc with the help of USB Deview , Tried pressing volume up button while connecting the phone(Without battery) to pc and even inserting the battery just after connection.
Any help would be grateful..Thanks!!
P.s- Unfortunately usb debugging is off in the phone

Hi, is your device completely dead? Or it boots?
If your device's is alive, get sprout4 Stock Rom and flash it via custom recovery like Philz or TWRP!

Hello, thanks for the support
The phone boots and get into a bootloop, as i mentioned that i wiped the data out, and i can enter in recovery mode but not in fastboot (maybe coz usb debugging is off).
I had no idea about sprout4 and that android one devices have common ROM and recoveries !!!!
I have found my device listed on this page but how do i flash recovery in my phone? The way i know is through ADB and that wont work.
I would like to know if theres any other way to do it .
Thanks!!

Oww, that's cool bruh.
Hang on, I'll link you a Sprout4 Full stock ROM [latest one]
All you need to do is, just enter into recovery mode then wipe everything except micro SD, flash the given Rom zip, give few minutes, once the Flashing done, reboot!
Edit - Rom Link - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24686681827315150
*.Note that, all the sprout4 roms compatible with each other, so just download the zip, put it to your SD, reboot recovery, wipe all [Wipe system, data. except SD card ], flash that zip, reboot!
No need for ADB stuffs.

urgh... Stock recovery doesnt show 'install from sd card'. The only options visible are apply update from sdcard , ..from adb, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache.
thanks!

Lolwut? :/
You were on stock recovery!!!
Deym, I thought you were on Custom Recovery like Philz or TWRP!
So now, @Sp5297... Your device is just bootlooping? And before this had took place, you were on stock Rom right? What was the build number?

Err... I misread that, pardon me.
AFAIK, if you wipe data / factory reset from stock recovery, then that's not at all an issue, just reboot the device that's gonna work.
You can't i guess, fastboot / ADB modes requires theyve to enabled from settings /developer option. So it was looping / you can't do that either.
First tell me what build you were on before this took place.
Flashing the very next OTA[prior to that] via stock recovery will works sometimes.
@saichin n I have the same problem with my phone, I tried to use sp frashtool but as sp5297 the phone doesn't connect with the pc (it connects only when i do apply update from ADB). When i plug in the pc without battery it's just dead. My mobile is Karbonn Sparkle V
Edit: It started to bootloop me when i tried to start a game (soccer stars official). When i start it it just crashed the UI and i restarted it via power button
Hi bro. I have the same prob with my Karbonn Sparkle v (Not rooted) with 6.0.1/MOB31E
Hi bro. I have the same prob with my Karbonn Sparkle v (Not rooted) with 6.0.1/MOB31E . I am stuck at bootloop too and cant flash any roms as it errors that earlier version can not be flashed or so. I am not able to connect my fone to PC as well, its not detecting, Can I flash anything from SD Card ( as in recovery it gives option to update from Sd Card). I have tried factory reset, cache cleaning but nothing wokred. could you please advise me on this??? appologise, not sure where to write my query, as i just joined today.
